PIP 2126


   Challenge 2126 - Team A

June 28




Hello and welcome to another challenge from Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we are sponsored by Beccy's Place.  I would like to thank them for providing the images the design team are using.  My card today features one of the manger images from the Lamb of God set.

After printing the image off onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art pencils before blending in Adirondack espresso, Tim Holtz old paper, weathered wood, scattered straw, and brushed corduroy distress inks before layering.  After adding some brads, I added the image to my card using glue dots over a scanned image of Silent Night from an old hymnal my late mother in law had.  The only embellishments added were primas and some Stampin Up twill tape ribbon with Memento rich cocoa ink stippled onto it.  As an afterthought, I added some faux sewing to my main image panel.

Let's Go To The Beach!

 
Hello and welcome to another Bugaboo freebie friday.  This week's freebie takes us to the beach, sand between our toes and a whole lot cooler weather than what most of the West has been experiencing.

After printing my image off onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using prismacolor and copic markers before stamping my "sand", adding some puffy clouds and then the background water.  Once she was layered using scrap card stock, I added brads and then adhered the image panel to a dry embossed card using my big shot and a cuttlebug shell collage embossing folder.  The saying was stamped onto scrap white card stock before punching it, and the corresponding layer, out using my Stampin Up oval punches.  I then added a crab and sea anemone, also punched from scraps.  The only other embellishments were some gold cord ribbon, ice stickles to highlight the water and a gold sand dollar I bought at a stamp convention over a decade ago and never used.

Wishing You Well

Hello and welcome.  Sorry it's been a bit between posts, but I've been dealing with a nasty migraine.  Today is another challenge over at Catch The Bug and my card is featuring a never before used image Bugaboo's Wishing You Well.

After printing the image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art pencils before lightly stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink for the sky.  Once I was finished stippling, I layered it then added it to a hand made background that was sent to me as a RAK.  I wanted to keep the card fairly clean and simple so the only embellishments added were some Dew Drops.

Well Shiver Me Timbers!!


Hello and welcome.  It's time for another Friday Freebie from Bugaboo stamps and you can grab this week's freebie over at Catch The Bug.  I love this cute little pirate monkey!

After printing him onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art pencils.  Once that was done, I created the cloud background using a Picket Fence Studio Slimline Cloud Stencil using Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink as well as blender brushes before stippling the sand with Adirondack caramel ink.  I then layered the image and added some small silver brads then added it to my card.  The card base was created using white card stock with some dusty embossed DCWV All About Boys designer paper with stormy sky distress ink stippled around the edges.  I then added some faux sewing to the card and image panel using a black artist pen.  I admit I sometimes do things backwards. *shrugs* Oh well, it worked this time.  The only other embellishments were two silver dew drops and a pirate sword charm I've had in  my stash for years, and I mean years!  I'm really happy with how this turned out since I'm still dealing with these blasted migraines.

PIP 2124

 Challenge 2124 - Team A

June 14

Hello and welcome.  This week's Pammie's Inky Pinkies challenge is being sponsored by  Jan's Digi Stamps.  I would like to thank them for providing all of the images the design team is using.

After printing the image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art Pencils since I'm still dealing with the same migraine I've had for a few weeks now.  Once it was colored, I stippled Tim Holtz concord grape distress ink around it before layering and adding brads.  The card base is made using Stampin Up card stock and the dry embossed panel was made using a Sizzix swirl embossing folder and my big shot.  I then sanded the raised pattern before lightly stippling forest moss distress ink over it.  The border was made by taking some scrap designer paper and stamping it in concord grape distress ink using a long retired Stampin Up set called Beyond The Basics.  After adding my layered image, I decided to lightly stippled milled lavender and old paper distress inks over the main image to "age" it a bit.  The saying was then stamped in memento tuxedo black ink with another long retired Stampin Up set called Tiny Talk.  I then added grape organdy ribbon and a wine glass charm to finish the card off.
